What players say

Players are split on this twin-stick shooter: some enjoy it as a casual couch co-op time-waster, but many find it repetitive and criticize the constant enemy respawning, the need to destroy bullet-sponge barricades, and the fact that all upgrades are lost after each level. The price is widely considered too high for what feels like a shallow experience.
